Hi everyone! We are heading down next month for our annual family trip. We had a water maker last year for the first time after some years of attempting to master water conservation. Honestly, it took a little adventure out of the trip in the first week - until the water maker stopped working for the second week - so we were back to conservation mode (mainly boat showers off the back). Overall, we'd like to have it, so I'm trying to learn for this year.
We will be on a Moorings 46PC - the same boat type as last year. When it stopped working, they said that it was an issue with the membrane, and it could only be serviced at the dock. Therefore, I want to do whatever we need to do to keep it working for two weeks this year. Elvin from the Elm came by the boat to collect the mooring fee one evening, and he said that the water makers are not built for the amount of salt in the BVI waters. However, I honestly haven't done much research to this point, so I have no idea if this is accurate.
My question is... what are the steps you would take to keep the water maker working (changing the filter with a certain frequency, etc.)?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Steve
